Don’t see much denial of @NOAA climate scientists who have predicted Hurricane Harvey’s devastating path into Texas."</b></span></div><br /><div align="justify">This on the heels of his tweet earlier this week tying to imply that astronomer's ability to see an eclipse coming meant that all climate models and predictions are beyond reproach: <span style="color:#00008b;"><b>"The divided United States of America will unite today, sharing a cosmic event predicted by the methods and tools of science."</b></span></div><br /><div align="justify">Not sure if that bit about <I>the divided United States</I> is over the notion of man-caused climate change or the race baiting of liberals or free speech in general. You'd think an educated guy like Tyson could be more specific.</div><br /><div align="justify">And he is educated, no doubt of that. He's got a B.A. in Physics from Harvard, a M.A. in Astonomy from UT Austin and a phD in Astrophysics from Columbia. He's also got probably a dozen or so honorary phD's from numerous colleges, but those are pretty worthless. Wife beater <b><i>Mike Tyson</I></b> and pedophile <b><i>Michael Jackson</I></b> have honorary degrees. So does <b><i>Kermit the Frog</I></b>. And also the rock band <b><i>Slade</I></b>. So I wouldn't thump my chest over all the honorary degrees too much if I were him. And actually there's no evidence he does. But those who want to use him as an authority on climate science don't hesitate to bring that up without prodding.</div><br /><div align="justify">But a guy with a B.A. in Physics ought to be a little familiar with the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and why that argues against the popular "greenhouse gas effect." Also a guy with two degrees in astronomy should understand that throwing the planet Venus up there as an example how CO2 levels affect planetary temps is disingenuous at best. Venus' atmosphere is 95% CO2 compared to the Earth's .04% and in addition Venus' atmospheric pressure is 92 times that of Earth, making it like a pressure cooker. You should know how that works -- simply increase the pressure in a closed system and the temp of the system rises.</div><br /><div align="justify">An interesting counter factual here is that Mars' atmosphere is also 95% CO2. But because its atmosphere is .001 of Earth, the surface temp is -75&#176;C cooler. So just screeching about atmospheric CO2 doesn't mean a whole lot. So many other factors that figure into, or <b><I>should</I></b> figure into, the analysis.</div><br /><div align="justify">But Tyson wants you to think that because there are tested and proven mechanisms to predict solar eclipses and track/predict storm paths, that every ridiculous prediction put out by Gore, Tyson, that idiot Bill Nye and others is beyond reproach. Which is absurd. As a scientist, Tyson <b><I>should</I></b> be skeptical. Even he knows a lot of what we <b><I>believe</I></b> in astrophysics is speculation. We're going on mathematical modeling and best guess scenarios since we don't have the ability to actually test or physically observe a lot of the phenomena we accept as "true."</div><br /><div align="justify">But Tyson is the Kardashian of science. Better looking and more eloquent than nitwit Nye, he's got enough movie and television appearances to fill an <b><i>Imdb</I></b> page. He turns up at <b><i>CinemaSins</I></b> for god's sake! He doesn't care if he's right or what he's promoting is actual science, as long as gets gigs in front of a camera, he's happy. I got a chuckle out of the slap backs he got on Twitter after the Harvey tweet. I'm sure it won't faze him in the least, he's way too in love with himself to be bothered by it all.</div><br /><div align="justify">And that's a pity, because he <b><i>is</I></b> intelligent and he <b><i>is</I></b> eloquent and if he worried more about science and less about his Screen Actors Guild rep, he could help bring some reason to climate studies.</div><br /><hr width=400><br /><div align="justify">And speaking of Kardashians, <b><I>Kylie Jenner</I></b> posted this little number to her Instagram account:</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/kylie_yellow.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/kylie_yellow.jpg" alt="kylie jenner nipples see through" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify">What is she, like 20 now? Astonishing that she hasn't gone the full monty yet in her social media or some magazine. Her mom must be losing her touch.

Coming back from an overseas trip with her husband, she posted some stuff to Twitter that wasn't shy about enjoying the perks of her husband's wealth (net worth $300m) and that set off the snowflakes. They unsuccessfully tried to white privilege/income disparity shame her and she responded with a pretty awesome smackdown that had whiny lefties howling.</div><br /><div align="justify">Of course she ended up deleting the <I>[scare quote]</i>offending<I>[/scare quote]</I> post since she didn't want to cause her husband problems, but still, I like her grit (as they used to say in olden times) and she certainly brings some hotness to Washington.

Deciding the country is irredeemably fractured, it's therefore time to reconstitute the U.S. into a smaller more accommodating country, Kelly then goes forward with a series of snarky rejoinders on why various states, like Florida (too much drugs), won't be included.</div><br /><div align="justify">Not particularly amusing, but what really caught my eye was this whopper in the opening paragraph:</div><br /><div align="center"><b><i>So once again, as The Beach Boys once so famously said, "our nation turns its lonely eyes to you".</I></b></div><br /><div align="justify">Uhmmm . . . yeah, about that . . . you see it wasn't the Beach Boys that said that in song, it was Simon & Garfunkel in the very famous song <b><I>Mrs. Robinson</I></b>. You know . . . won a couple of Grammys, used in that little Dustin Hoffman pic <I><b>The Graduate</I></b> . . . hit number one on the charts . . .</div><br /><div align="justify">You know, that's not a hard thing to look up with a search engine these days. Or perhaps maybe just ask someone over the age of twenty. I mean, you're supposed to be writing as a professional or at least a compensated blogger or some such. I should also mention here that he said it took him three tries to spell the word <I>lonely</I> correctly. Which is pretty pathetic. Spell check anyone?</div><br /><div align="justify">And this guy gets to post his stuff on a big time website/blog? Go figure.</div><br /><hr width=400><br /><div align="justify">Also, there's supposed to be a big rally in Washington DC to support President Trump in September. It's being called <b><I>The Mother of all Rallies</I></b>, which I'm sure won't drive liberals or Trump haters any more crazy than they already are. But that's not all, now we see that the <b><I>Juggalos</I></b> will be joining the march. 'Cause that's exactly what the hyperbolic media needs to see is a bunch of guys in clown makeup marching with Trump supporters who the media already assumes are 100% racist, Nazi, white supremacists. </div><br /><div align="justify">What could go wrong?</div><br /><hr width=400><br /><div align="justify">Oh yeah, almost forgot . . . <b><i>Maria Chappelle-Nadal</I></b>, the state senator from Missouri who wrote on her Facebook page that she hoped that President Trump would be assassinated, has finally apologized for that outrageous (and illegal) posting.</div><br /><div align="justify">Yes, she was all straight back and shoulders square and she wasn't going to apologize for what she said. It was wrong to say it out loud, but she wasn't going to apologize for it. That bravery lasted less than a week as the Democratic party was publicly calling for her ouster from the Senate and Missouri's governor was, and is still, looking for ways to remove her from office.</div><br /><div align="justify">With the prospect of losing her gravy train paycheck and perhaps having to actually go back to work looming and the realization that while Dems and their media lackies wouldn't blink about her calling the President a racist . . . indirectly calling for his assassination . . . no one's got your back on this one honey.</div><br /><div align="justify">So she apologized. And naturally managed to virtue signal her sturdy Christian faith, that was oddly absent when she was calling for Trump to be murdered, while apologizing to anyone and everyone she could think of.</div><br /><div align="justify">You buying that? Yeah, me neither. Know who else may not be buying it? The Secret Service. I believe their investigation is still open. I think I read somewhere that advocating for the assassination of a sitting President is a Federal crime. Ms. Chappell-Nadal might walk out of her cushy Senate office and right into an 8x10 cell if things don't go her way.</div>postaldoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07939218266307886079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911959188181347070.post-33848048395443682512017-08-16T12:09:00.002-04:002017-08-19T09:11:06.653-04:00Taylor Swift wins a dollar<div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/taylor_lawsuit.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/taylor_lawsuit.jpg" alt="taylor swift wins lawsuit" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify">Lost in the insanity of this weekend's festival of hate was a tiny victory for celebs who get treated like ATM's by unscrupulous parasites.</div><br /><div align="justify">After losing his job over complaints by <b><i>Taylor Swift</i></b>'s mother and management, DJ <b><I>David Mueller</I></b> sued Swifty for $3 million, claiming the charges that he groped Swift during a photo session were false.</div><br /><div align="justify">Instead of backing down to avoid publicity, Swift counter-sued for $1.00 and went to court looking for a fight.</div><br /><div align="justify">Mueller must have hired his attourney from <I>upstairs law school</I> (hat tip: The Simpsons), because this bozo did such a bad job questioning Swift that her own attourney didn't bother presenting a case, just asked for a ruling and got it from the jury.</div><br /><div align="justify">Despite whether you're a fan of her music or not, it's hard to deny that Swift is a talented writer. And if you've watched any of the silly celeb stuff about her, one thing is obvious -- she isn't afraid to take a shot at <I>anyone</I> she feels has disrespected her, usually doing so in song. So how Mueller and his folks wouldn't think she'd show up prepared to <I>perform</I> at a trial is a headscratcher.</div><br /><div align="justify">I personally liked the fact that she didn't play wilting flower on the stand, stating forcefully at one point that she wasn't going to be made to feel responsible for being groped. And later pointing out that no, the front of her dress didn't look disturbed by the groping because her ass is located in the back of her body (the photographic evidence is pretty damning and available everywhere right now).</div><br /><div align="justify">Pretty awesome stuff. Not sure whether that will earn her cred with the girl power set, but it ought to. Also not sure whether this was just the result of an incompetent lawyer on Mueller's part and a well prepared Swift, but it may just be that under that carefully maintained public visage, Taylor Swift might just be a lot harder edged than anyone realizes.</div><br /><div align="justify">Katy Perry and others might want to tread a bit more lightly next time they decide to start a cutesy music feud with Swifty. Just a suggestion.</div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#00008b;"><b><I>Update:</I></b><br />Not exactly connected to the above post, but interestingly, as of yesterday Swift had wiped clean all her social media accounts, even removing the avatar images for those account. Her <b><i>Instagram</I></b> is now wiped clean too. And she's <I>unfollowed</I> everyone on her social media accounts. New music coming out? She's relentless about putting out new stuff every two years, so maybe that.<br /><br />Like I said, I'm not particularly a fan of her music, but she does seem to have a way with working the industry to her favor. We'll see what happens.</span></div>postaldoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07939218266307886079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911959188181347070.post-80373857331622721862017-07-30T10:18:00.000-04:002017-08-21T10:27:51.216-04:00Not exactly a movie review -- Atomic Blonde<div align="left"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/poster_atomic_blonde.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/poster_atomic_blonde.jpg" alt="atomic blonde movie poster" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify"><b><I>Atomic Blonde</I></b> is a cold war spy movie set in Germany about a week before the Berlin Wall comes down in 1989.</div><br /><div align="justify">The plot is fairly basic -- there's yet another of those ubiquitous <I>"lists"</I> that someone seems to have compiled, of every agent on every side that is working in and around Germany and western Europe. For this movie, the <i>compiler</I> is an East German Stasi agent who wants to trade the list for safe passage for him and his family to the west. And he's made a deal to trade it with MI-6. Problem is the MI-6 agent gets killed and the list is gone. The Brits send Lorraine somethingorother, <i><b>Charlize Theron</I></b>, to West Germany to retrieve the fallen agent, retrieve the list, and oh by the way the list has the name and identity of a double agent, code named <b><I>Satchel</I></b>, who's been raping MI-6 for information for years and giving it to the Russians and those damn Yanks. So capturing him as well would be nice, but putting a bullet in his head . . . better.</div><br /><div align="justify">The movie is played out in flashback format via a debrief of Lorraine at MI-6 headquarters where her superiors are implying that something not only went wrong with the mission, something may be very amiss with Lorraine herself.</div><br /><div align="justify">The movie starts out at full throttle and never lets up with jarring action, wonderful imagery of late 80's West Germany and good twists and turns and double and triple crosses that aren't nearly as obvious as some reviewers (I'm looking right at you Christian Toto) would have you believe. It's well worth the watch, but it's <b><I>R</I></b> rated for a reason -- brutal violence, nudity, and a bit of lesbian sex between Theron and <b><I>Sofia Boutella</I></b>. Plus enough bad language and that evil cigarette smoking to get puritans on both sides of the political spectrum clutching their pearls in anguish.</div><br /><div align="justify">But this movie is more than just another action flick for some of us. The director, <b><I>David Leitch</I></b>, was the second unit director on the <b><I>John Wick</I></b> movies. Which is to say, that he was the guy in charge of the action and stunt sequences of the movie -- basically the parts of those movies that made them such fan favorites.</div><br /><div align="justify">He's also the guy who is slated to direct the next <b><I>Deadpool</I></b> movie. And fans like myself have a vested interest to see how Leitch does with his first turn in the big chair. Answer -- pretty f*cking well.</div><br /><div align="justify">Besides the overall look of Atomic Blonde -- set design, wardrobe, cinematography and so on, there's a hip atmosphere to the movie and some clever touches that show some style. The soundtrack is all Big 80's from the MTV era and though it is literally too loud in some points, it gave the film the requisite retro touch. You could lose yourself in the time period easily while watching the film.</div><br /><div align="justify">But it's the action sequences that make this movie, just as in John Wick. Theron never seems to make those endless fanboy lists online of favorite female action stars, and I never understand why. Sigourney Weaver had about 10 minutes of tough girl action in the second <b><i>Alien</I></b> movie and she's on the top of everyone's pedestal for action goddess. Theron's been getting it done for years on screen in numerous roles and simply doesn't seem to get the fanboy love she deserves. Go figure.</div><br /><div align="justify">And she continues here. In interviews, Leitch said he wanted the action brutal and unapologetic and he delivered that in spades. Theron doesn't just dish out the punishment, she gets the sh*t beat out of her as well. Plenty of times. In fact, another of the things I like about her is that despite her jaw dropping beauty, she doesn't need to look like a runway model on screen at all times. See her portrayal in the last Mad Max movie for proof. Find another current female star that would have accepted that look on screen.</div><br /><div align="justify">Charlize may start the flashback looking great, but by the time the debrief occurs, she's literally covered in bruises, her hands are bruised with tape over her knuckles, she's sporting a split lip and a black eye with a contact lens in there to make the eye look swollen and hemorrhaged. There's a realism in her appearance that's refreshing -- she looks like she's been thrown down ten flights of stairs and done her best to cover up the results with make-up, like any woman would. That's a nice touch in film making, I think.</div><br /><div align="justify">And the fight sequences themselves are breathtaking. Grounded in a more real world vibe, they don't evoke a superhero feel with wild impossible moves and indestructible combatants. In the movie, Lorraine comes across as a well trained, talented agent who, though not as strong as her male adversaries, may have better skills and takes advantage of any casual weapon within reach. And we also learn that she's not just wearing those stunning thigh high boots with stiletto heels as a fashion statement . . . they're a deadly weapon as well. Clever.</div><br /><div align="justify">But as I said before, she takes as much punishment as she dishes out. Especially in her two encounters with one of the Russian's top thug/agents. Played by <b><I>Daniel Bernhardt</I></b> (you'd recognize him as the top thug in the first John Wick movie) these two go at it furiously with Theron losing their first encounter convincingly and their final battle was so brutal I was actually turning sideways in my seat. It was hard to watch. But it shows that in an <b><I>"action"</I></b> flick, Director Leitch is going to bring it on screen.</div><br /><div align="justify">So for those of us wondering if he's going to have the chops to do the next Deadpool movie justice . . . I think we can relax and wait for it to hit the big screen.</div><br /><div align="justify"><I><b>aside:</b></I> As I write this, <b><I>Josh Brolin</I></b> who will be playing <b><I>Cable</I></b> in the next Deadpool movie has posted an image of himself showing his new buffed up physique for the part.

She's a bit botoxy looking for my taste, but it's hard to deny that her 47 year old body is looking pretty rocking in a bikini, as evidenced by these paparazzi shots that appeared online over the last week:</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/scully_hmt_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/scully_hmt_01.jpg" alt="gillian anderson bikini" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/scully_hmt_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/scully_hmt_02.jpg" alt="gillian anderson bikini" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify">And in this case, the pap was actually rewarded with a few delightfully uncensored images of the usually modest Anderson:</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/scully_hmt_03.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/scully_hmt_03.jpg" alt="gillian anderson bikini ass" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/scully_boob_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/scully_boob_01.jpg" alt="gillian anderson bikini sideboob nipple" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify">Her husband appears to be not half a naughty bastard, as they might have said in <b><I>RocknRolla</I></b> (one of my favorite movies), as he takes advantage of a distracted Gillian whilst she puts up their umbrella:</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/scully_hmt_04.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/scully_hmt_04.jpg" alt="gillian anderson bikini shaved pussy" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify">I love her bemused expression as he goes exploring, it's a playful side we rarely seem to see of Anderson in her movie roles or interviews. If that's more like her real personality, she should show it off more, imho.</div><br /><div align="justify">To round things out, here's some imperfect screen caps from some movie she did a few years ago that no one probably saw, and a magazine shoot where she looks sexy, but a bit . . . botoxy, as I said before.

However, as is usually the case, the NCAA and other organizations controlling high school and college sports took the <I><b>"kill a mosquito with a sledgehammer"</I></b> approach to enforcing the rule. So gone were men's swimming and wrestling and other legendary college sports teams to make way for competitive tumbling and cheerleading teams . . . that is, when the schools could manage to entice girls who weren't really interested in sports to get involved anyway.</div><br /><div align="justify">Like most efforts in social engineering, it's a f*cking mess.</div><br /><div align="justify">And so is this current debacle.</div><br /><div align="justify">In the name of diversity and inclusion and every other buzz word popular with today's SJW crowd, there will no longer be a Men's Double Trap competition or a Men's 50 meter prone rifle competition or a Men's 50 meter pistol competition. Seeing a pattern here?</div><br /><div align="justify">It's not known to the average viewer, but the Men's 50m pistol event, commonly referred to by competitors as <b><I>Free Pistol</I></b> is one of the oldest and most famous shooting events in the Olympics, dating back to the 1890's. <b>The f*cking 1890's!!!</b> That's a 120+ years of Olympic history folks!!</div><br /><div align="justify">Yes, yes, by all means, let's toss a historic shooting event on the trash heap simply because women can't or don't care to compete in it!</div><br /><div align="justify">It should be noted that there are women's pistol events in the Olympics -- air pistol and sport pistol, the latter being a version of what men compete in as centerfire pistol (not in the Olympics though, only women's sport pistol is an event), the difference being women shoot a .22cal pistol in sport pistol where men use a pistol chambered for centerfire cartridges. Also, in my competitive experience, in state championships and smaller matches, the ladies compete on equal footing with the guys in all disciplines, the exception being the previously mentioned sport/cf pistol division.</div><br /><div align="justify">But to replace those three venerable Olympic shooting competitions we now have the ridiculous events of <b><I>Mixed Gender Team</I></b> events in Trap, 10 meter air rifle, and 10 meter air pistol.</div><br /><div align="justify">ISSF President Olegario Vázquez Raña breathlessly let the world know that his organization conducted an exhaustive two year study to come up with this abomination, noting that this was a fundamental step forward for shooting sports and that promoting inclusion and gender equality by insuring that there are <b><I>exactly</I></b> the same number of events available to men and women will support further growth in shooting sports around the world.</div><br /><div align="justify">No words of condolences have been offered to the 30 Olympic hopefuls who won't have the opportunity to realize their dream of becoming an Olympian because the number of athletes will drop from 390 to 360 under this change. And I may have missed it, but to my knowledge, there hasn't been some anguished outcry from female athletes that they are not fairly represented in the shooting sports in the Olympics. I mean, basically what the ISSF is doing here is adding three women's events to the schedule. Why not just add a Women's 50m pistol, prone rifle and double trap to the list of events.</div><br /><div align="justify">You know the answer to that, and it has nothing to do with inclusion. Quite the opposite in fact.</div><br /><div align="justify">I'm also wondering what will come when we have a mixed gender team totally composed of biological males but with the supposed female member(s) being someone who only <I><b>identifies</I></b> as female. We have to be inclusive after all, right Mr. Rana? And in my experience as a competitive shooter, I've seen some good women shooters, but for the most part, the guys are better, far better, at the pistol events than the gals.</div><br /><div align="justify">This could start to look like these city and state track and field events where boys are winning the girls events and championships, because they supposedly identify as female.</div><br /><div align="justify">What bullsh*t! Almost makes me glad I cannot compete anymore. By the way, to their credit, <b><i>USA Shooting</I></b>, the sanctioning body for US Olympic shooting sports categorically opposes these changes and notes they had nothing to do with the decision to alter the make up of the Olympic shooting schedule of events.</div><br /><div align="justify">Good for them.</div>postaldoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07939218266307886079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911959188181347070.post-61590999684830027612017-06-12T20:34:00.002-04:002017-06-12T20:34:41.691-04:00Maitland Ward eschews the subtlety<div align="justify">My favorite redhead has been fairly quiet on Twitter and Snapchat and such recently, putting out SFW images in the <b><I>sans fards</I></b> format.

President Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Accord, and just like that, civilization died. Noted Nobel Laureate climate scholars such as John Kerry, Joe Scarborough and Jerry Brown told us that the death toll would be in the millions as pestilence, famine and raging super storms would immediately sweep across the planet in an apocalyptic wave of destruction that would be . . . well . . . apocalyptic.</div><br /><div align="justify">Here's the problem with all that -- none of it is true or possible or based on science of any kind.</div><br /><div align="justify">Let's start with the fact that the treaty was <I><B>illegally</I></b> signed by former President and supposed constitutional scholar Barack Obama. The United States of America is not a monarchy. Presidents do not have the power to sign treaties. Treaties must be approved by Congress. That's Schoolhouse Rock 101. You'd think the brilliant lightworker sent to us from another dimension would have known that.</div><br /><div align="justify">I know, of course he knew that, he just didn't care. But it really didn't matter because the treaty was <b><I>non-binding</I></b> which meant it was simply an international exercise in virtue signaling. But it was also stupid and dangerous and very one-sided in what it sought to do, which was serve as socialist wealth redistribution from countries like the U.S. to underdeveloped or poor countries around the world.</div><br /><div align="justify">And while it imposed draconian levels of CO2 reduction for America, it left other massive polluting nations like China and India free to do whatever they wished for decades to come. While America would be sending billions overseas to dictatorships that keep their citizens living in squalor, we here would see our fuel costs skyrocket and millions of jobs lost due to the shutting down of current power production facilities.</div><br /><div align="justify">And let's remember the biggest fallacy of this entire scenario -- that we must reduce global CO2 levels to combat global warming or climate change or whatever. Global CO2 levels are actually at historic lows, despite the industrialized nature of the world today. And in fact, CO2 is a necessary part of life on this planet. Plants need CO2 to survive, and the modest increase has contributed to an actual, provable greening of the planet over the last two decades. And though planetary CO2 levels <b><i>have</I></b> increased over the last two decades, planetary tempuratures (measured by RSS, the most accurate method) <b><i>have not increased</I></b>.</div><br /><div align="justify">Al Gore made himself the prophet of climate apocalypse with his laughable powerpoint movie, and yet not a single prediction of his has come even close to materializing. Remember, right now, according to Gore, New York is supposed to be under water because the polar ice caps were supposed to have totally melted away. As of 2016, Arctic ice levels are actually 22% higher than the previous low point of 2012. Antarctica is actually gaining ice mass and NASA suspects that ice growth is slowing the rise of the oceans.</div><br /><div align="justify">And yeah, rising oceans, let's talk about that for a moment. The oceans are rising at the same rate they have been for as long as we've had the ability to accurately measure it. Using tide gauges, scientists (not actors or politicians or musicians) show that ocean levels are rising at less than 2 millimeters per year. At that rate, it would take 300 years for sea levels to rise one foot. That's hardly flooding of biblical proportions.</div><br /><div align="justify">Extreme weather events simply haven't increased with the U.S. currently in a period of historic lows for hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, etc. As someone so elegantly put it -- the only prediction that has come true from IPCC reports is that each succeeding report will predict even worse climate scenarios. And it is important to note that the IPCC, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, is not a scientific organization but a political one comprised of over 80% politicians. Any wonder that their pronouncements and dire predictions seem only aimed at punishing developed countries in the name of global wealth distribution.</div><br /><div align="justify">So if Michael Bloomberg wants to donate $15million of his own dollars to the Paris Accord folks, more power to him. If idiot mayors like Bill deBlasio want to declare that their cities will abide by the accord and jack up power costs and restrict their citizen's rights and lifestyles . . . go for it. And if you want to live like that, by all means, move to one of those cities where celebs with carbon footprints the size of Godzilla live like kings and queens while those who aren't millionaires struggle to stay warm in winter and not overheat in summer while they walk or ride a bicycle to work and see their paychecks decimated by massive tax increases to cover the costs of appeasing the cult of climate change.</div><br /><div align="justify">Donald Trump has done his share of stupid things since becoming President, but he got this one right. Perhaps if he had better speechwriters, he could defend his case for occasionally doing the right thing in a better way.</div>postaldoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07939218266307886079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911959188181347070.post-61594271726500505802017-06-03T11:43:00.001-04:002017-06-03T12:40:00.129-04:00Joanna Krupa got a little too clever here<div align="justify">Model and very occasional actress <b><I>Joanna Krupa</I></b> has developed her own cottage industry of appearing in photo shoots that tease some sort of nudity or supposed accidental exposure like <a href="http://postaldog.blogspot.com/2013/09/joanna-krupa-isnt-fooling-me.html">this</a>. While she has appeared naked in a variety of venues, she mostly seems to work at the <I>almost there</I> type of thing. Just recently she worked on a beach shoot in a shreddy sort of shawl designed, I'm sure, to push the envelope and tantalize her fans:</div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/krupa_0603_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/krupa_0603_01.jpg" alt="joanna krupa nip slip" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify">Like I said, she's not averse to nudity, I just get the impression she'd prefer not to just leave it all out there every time. And I don't have a problem with that, sometimes the tease is more fun than the reveal. But other pics from the shoot indicate she might have underestimated the exposure potential of this particular outfit.</div><br /><div align="justify">Still, she's a gamer, she left the pics out there. I appreciate the honesty of it all -- she knows her market and isn't ashamed to keep herself in the public eye. </div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/krupa_0603_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/krupa_0603_02.jpg" alt="joanna krupa nip slip" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/krupa_0603_03.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/krupa_0603_03.jpg" alt="joanna krupa nip slip" /></a></div>postaldoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07939218266307886079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911959188181347070.post-42529624718131401942017-06-02T13:25:00.000-04:002017-06-05T19:53:30.564-04:00Movie Review -- Wonder Woman<div align="left"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/poster_ww.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/poster_ww.jpg" alt="wonder woman poster movie review" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify">I began developing my jones for mythology back in junior high school (that's what they called middle school in prehistoric times). I took 2 1/2 years of Latin and a great deal of that was translations of not only speeches and texts but also Roman mythology. I loved it. And I followed that by reading about Greek mythology, which was the same thing only different names for the Gods. And then Norse mythology and so on. Bulfinch's mythology . . . I've still got that somewhere.</div><br /><div align="justify">So when I began buying subscriptions for comic books, besides X-Men and Daredevil, I also got Thor. How could I not? A mythological god turned superhero?! Had to have that. I loved them and like other fans, suffered through years of horrible Thor appearances in television. But when MARVEL decided to do a Thor movie, I was excited. When I saw that <b><I>Kenneth Branagh</I></b> was directing, I knew it would be good. Unlike many fans, I liked that movie and Branagh's Shakespearean vibe on Asgard and the relationships between those who dwelled there.</div><br /><div align="justify">One thing I didn't like was that they didn't follow the mythology of the Thor character from the comics. Taking a cue from <b><I>Asimov</i></b>'s theorem about technology -- that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, they simply made Thor and the other Asgardians aliens. Clever but disappointing</div><br /><div align="justify">I had conversations with screenwriter <b><I>Michael France</I></b> (Hulk, Fantastic Four, Goldeneye, Cliffhanger, etc.) about that when Thor came out. His position was that moviegoers wouldn't accept the notion of actual gods, that it was too ridiculous. I thought to myself that the notion of a guy who can spontaneously burst into flames and fly or a dude made out of rock or a girl who can turn invisible and project force fields was pretty ridiculous too, but . . .</div><br /><div align="justify">With <b><I>Wonder Women</I></b> we see that maybe either audiences have changed or the world has changed or something. Because they don't shy away from the original mythology of who and what Diana is. After a shout out to Batman v Superman, we get Diana's life as a young child on <b><I>Themyscira</I></b>. Her mother, <b><I>Queen Hippolyta</I></b> (Connie Nielson), is wildly protective of the rebellious young girl who wants desperately to be a warrior like the other Amazons.</div><br /><div align="justify">But along with a fairly literal explanation, via Greek mythology, of how and why the Amazons came into being, we also get clues that Diana may be much more than what she appears to be and the Queen may be hiding or protecting her from a greater evil in the world.</div><br /><div align="justify">We see Diana grow into adulthood, in the person of achingly beautiful <b><I>Gal Gadot</I></b>, and soon thereafter the Amazons secluded paradise is breached by the outside world and the horror raging there -- World War I.</div><br /><div align="justify">After a brutal battle with Germans on the beach of Themyscira, Diana, convinced that Ares, the God of War, is behind what's happening in the world outside, steals the weapons given to the Amazons by Zeus and leaves the island with downed pilot <b><I>Steve Trevor</I></b> (<b><i>Chris Pine</I></b>) to find and kill Ares and restore mankind to what she believes and has been taught is their inherent goodness.</div><br /><div align="justify">It's against this fairly simple plot background that the movie plays out. There's a lot of empowerment going on here, and I don't mean girl power stuff. Again and again, Diana's naïve nobility and morality moves those around her to take action and/or make tough choices. She rails at her mother when Hippolyta tries to stop Diana from leaving. How can we stand by and watch millions die and do nothing, Diana asks. The Amazons were created by Zeus to protect mankind and stop Ares, that's their purpose to exist, she points out. She has to do something.</div><br /><div align="justify">She berates a room full of Allied Generals for sitting in safety and comfort, while rank and file soldiers die on the battlefield. A true General should fight along side their troops, she says, risk their own lives just like the warriors they command. She calls them cowards and tells them they should be ashamed of themselves.</div><br /><div align="justify">Once on the front, confronted for the first time in her existence, Diana sees the horror of war and is moved by it. When they pass through the trenches, she hears the laments of townsfolk who have suffered under German occupation. She hears how the Allied soldiers have been trapped in these trenches for a year, unable to move an inch over what is cleverly called "no man's land." Trevor wants to stay on mission, his mission, to find this evil General. But again, Diana rails about how they cannot simply ignore the suffering around them. Climbing out of the trench in full Amazon regalia, she wades into a hail of bullets and machine gun fire and the image of her bravery moves first Trevor and his team and then the Allied soldiers to storm the German front and crash through. It's a moving and heroic moment, and not nearly as cloying as it might have been under another director. And indeed, has become the signature sequence in the movie. Fun factoid -- director Jenkins had to fight to get this scene into the final cut as the studio didn't think it was necessary. Sometimes you've got to trust the artist, ya know.</div><br /><div align="justify">Time and again through the rest of the movie these sorts of scenarios play out. And not always just Diana inspiring the others, but she is also inspired by the bravery and self-sacrifice of Trevor and his mates assembled for the mission in typically pc movie making style -- a drunken Scottish sniper who can't shoot anymore, a noble Arab actor turned mercenary and a noble American Indian turned smuggler. <I>*sigh*</I></div><br /><div align="justify">I'm not familiar with director <b><I>Patty Jenkins</I></b>, but she did a good job balancing the emotional ride of this movie and navigating what could have been some groan inducing moments. The battle on the beach, featuring women warriors armed with bows and arrows and swords against soldiers armed with guns could have required epic suspension of disbelief. Instead we saw exactly what one might reasonably expect -- death on both sides with the good guys (or girls in this case) coming out on top but not without some tragic loss.</div><br /><div align="justify">Diana's growth from the cloistered environment of Themyscira through some enjoyable comic moments in 1917 London to seeing that war and battle isn't all romance and glorifying bedtime stories to her final realization that life and the world isn't everything she thought it would be is all handled quite well.</div><br /><div align="justify">I've seen some bitching on various outlets that Gadot isn't built like a bodybuilder or a busty Playboy model (you just can't please some folks) but she's plenty athletic enough to carry off the very stylish battle/fight sequences. And honestly, that lithe physique seems perfect for the role. She's also a very good actress, conveying the varying emotions of the movie effortlessly and effectively. I read where she had thought about leaving acting prior to getting this role. I think maybe she's gonna have a real career boost after this movie.</div><br /><div align="justify">If I do have a complaint it is about the final confrontation with Ares. Yes, she does finally meet him. The physical battle seems forced, as if the writers simply didn't know how a god might do battle. We get yet another reveal about who and what Diana actually is and there's one little continuity error that may need some explaining in future movies. I'm a bit surprised I haven't seen anyone on these fanboy sites bring it up.</div><br /><div align="justify">All in all, this is a really good movie. One of the better origin story movies so far. I'd rank it up there with <b><i>Deadpool</I></b> and <b><i>Chris Nolan</i></b>'s <b><i>Batman Begins</I></b> in terms of an origin story flick that casual fans will enjoy. I've seen some bitching about the runtime -- it's just over two hours, but I saw it last night at the 10:40pm showing and didn't even notice how late it was when it was done. Btw, don't hang around for a post-credits scene, there isn't one.</div><br /><div align="justify">If you've been bummed about DC's last couple of flicks, give this movie a look. I think they may have a legit hit on their hands here. I certainly hope it does well. With Justice League coming out this fall, a successful Wonder Woman lead in could really help that movie and others in the DC universe get on the good foot with movie goers.</div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#00008b;"><b><I>Update 1:</b></I><br />Looks like the movie is starting off well with reports of an $11m Thursday opening, which puts Wonder Woman somewhere between <b><I>Logan</I></b> at $9.5m and <b><I>Guardians of the Galaxy 2</I></b> at $17m.</span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#8b0000;"><b><I>Update 2:</I></b><br />I stand duly chastised. I pointed out what I thought was a continuity error in the movie -- in her confrontation with Ares, the God of War destroys Diana's sword <b><I>The Godkiller</I></b> and yet I thought she was still wielding it in <b><i>BvS</I></b>. Turns out I was wrong, as several commenters on a fanboy site so helpfully [\sarc] pointed out. Diana wields something called the <b><I>Sword of Athena</I></b> in BvS and is also using a new shield. No explanation for why other than director <b><I>Zack Snyder</I></b> wanted to inscribe some quotes/verses on the items as part of his artistic creation process. Perhaps in a future movie we'll get an explanation for where the new weapons came from.</span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#006400;"><b><I>Update 3:</I></b><br />Numbers are in for the weekend opening -- three days from Thursday thru Saturday (again, not my stats bro) and Wonder Woman has a domestic gross of $100.5m and $223m worldwide, so along with a critical success, DC and the studios have an official hit on their hands. Important to note that both BvS and Suicide Squad made a ton of money worldwide, but suffered from some pretty savage critical reviews that weren't completely deserved in my humble opinion (I actually liked BvS. You can check out my thoughts on SS in a previous post). Anyway, bully for Gadot and Jenkins for their success with this movie.</span></div><br /><hr width=400><div align="justify">Did you find this review helpful?

And since I saw it last night . . .</div><br /><div align="justify">If you're a fanboy of the original anime like me, you might end up mildly disappointed by this movie. It's not a bad stand alone movie. But if you've watched the hype over this since the decision was made to make the film, you've heard how it was going to be a <b><I>live-action remake of the classic 1995 anime</I></b>.</div><br /><div align="justify">Uhmm . . . yeah, about that . . .</div><br /><div align="justify">A more accurate description would be that this 2017 version of Ghost in the Shell, is a lush, cgi heavy, sci-fi movie <b><I>based on the classic 1995 anime</I></b> of the same name.</div><br /><div align="justify">We've got a lot of the same characters -- Batou, Togusa, Ishikawa, Saito, and the Chief of Section 9. For no apparent reason, the Chief now has a name -- Aramaki (and is played by well known Asian actor 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano). And the Major's name is also changed to <b><i>Mira Killian</I></b> as opposed to the original <b><i>Motoko Kusinagi</I></b> from the anime. Though there is a reason for that. And that is where the live action version veers away from the classic anime.</div><br /><div align="justify">While the original is a story of how a hacking program amassed so much knowledge that it became aware of its own existence, essentially becoming a sentient digital life form referred to as <b><I>The Puppetmaster</I></b> but originally created under the code name <b><I>Project 2501</I></b>.</div><br /><div align="justify">In the live action version, the villain, referred to as <b><I>Kuze</I></b>, is a failed previous iteration of the human/cyborg hybrid experiment that the Major is the culmination of. His course of action -- hunting down all those responsible for creating him and killing them, is quite different from the Puppetmaster's motivation in the original -- simply to be allowed to exist and be recognized as a new form of life with all the freedom's we afford other sentient life forms on the planet.</div><br /><div align="justify">And while the 1995 anime is more focused on the profound implications of artificial intelligence and what might happen if/when machines evolve beyond what we've made them to be, the 2017 version is more of an indictment of the capitalist industrial complex and their (supposed) heartless drive to create new product. In this case the melding of a human brain and a cybernetic body. Of course they have to wipe out those pesky memories that might complicate matters, hence the Major's new name of Kira instead of her real name Motoko, something that is revealed in the climactic final sequences of the 2017 film.</div><br /><div align="justify">The original also had quite a bit of examination of the politics of a new future world where the lines between corporations and governments have become blurred, that are reduced now to simply corporation = bad, government = maybe not bad.</div><br /><div align="justify">I had previously wondered if any of the changes in the live action version might have been driven by the thought that audiences, particularly mainstream American audiences, would be put off by the <I>talky</I> nature of the original anime. Part of what I like about those flicks is exactly the fact that they have a lot of narrative and exposition in them as they put forward complicated thoughts on whatever subject is driving the film.</div><br /><div align="justify">But there's also quite a few dialog heavy scenes in this current film where the Major struggles to understand who and what she is and where she came from and what might have happened to her. That sort of surprised me.</div><br /><div align="justify">The film makers did throw in a handful of iconic scenes from the original, pretty faithfully recreated to please us fanboys -- the opening and closing back dives off skyscrapers by the Major, the cyborg body creation sequence, the water fight with the ghost hacked assassin. The Major's battle with the spider tank was altered a bit, but not in such a way that I was overly disappointed.</div><br /><div align="justify">All in all, it isn't a bad film. I'm not sure how it will do with audiences that aren't familiar with the original. I think it's a decent stand alone movie, but I myself, couldn't separate my expectations/knowledge of the original from how I was viewing this version. It did make me smile at times. The Chief is sort of a bad ass in this version, that was fun.</div><br /><div align="justify">So, like I said at the outset . . . what's wrong with <b><I>Ghost in the Shell</I></b>?</div><br /><div align="justify">In two words -- nothing really.</div><br /><div align="justify">And now a word about <b><I>whitewashing</I></b> . . .</div><br /><div align="justify">All these social justice warriors bitching about Scarlett Johansson playing an Asian character need to shut the f*ck up, put their onesie on, grab their warm milk and go back to their pillow filled safe spaces.</div><br /><div align="justify">Once you watch the live action version you'll understand why Johansson was a completely valid choice of actress for this part <b><I>as it was written</I></b> in the same way that Michael Pitt was okay as Kuze (who's original name was revealed in the movie, but I cannot remember it now).</div><br /><div align="justify">And I know that I had written a post about Johansson's casting in this part previously and had suggested Asian-American actresses for the role, but that was primarily driven by my exhaustion of Scarlett being cast in <b><I>every freakin' role</I></b> that was coming down the pike back then. Watch the original anime in the English dubbed format. If you discard the Asian character names, I defy you to see any of those characters as Asian. That's one of the fetishes of anime -- the westernization of the character features. And it is also part of the underlying narrative of both the original anime and this live action version -- a Japanese woman has her mind/ghost implanted into a <b><i>generic</I></b> cyborg body, not a replica of her original human form, but a fully artificial man-made cybernetic body. One that is a prototype for a future lucrative business.</div><br /><div align="justify">In fact, in the original, part of the Major's angst is that she is not sure how unique she is. She struggles to understand what defines her in the world and society. At one point, she is riding a water taxi and looks up to see someone who looks exactly like her dining at a restaurant. Perhaps if the 2017 film's creators had been able to cast a more unremarkable actress in this role it would have driven that point home with more effectiveness. But they chose ScarJo for the box office. But <b><I>whitewashing</I></b>?! Know what you're talking about before you make statements like that dumbasses.</div><br /><hr width=400><div align="justify">Did you find this discussion helpful?

He's got a lot of work to do, and some of these things — the wiretapping and all of this stuff — is a complete distraction that makes it harder to accomplish the things I know he wants to do."</I></b></div><br /><div align="justify">Jeb went on to correctly point out that Trump <b><I>"...hasn't shifted to being president in the way that people are used to, and I think that's the problem, I would say. The strength is that he's acted in a good way and lifted people's spirits in terms of economic growth and job creation. But he's a distraction in and of himself by creating all of these, through Twitter and..."</I></b></div><br /><div align="justify">Continuing along the same lines that many thoughtful commentators and pundits have taken, Bush advised that Trump <b><I>"...should stop saying things that aren't true that are distractions from the task at hand."</I></b> Jeb also pointed out that <b><I>"...my whole approach to this is to watch his deeds, not his words. His actions matter in terms of the long-term consequences for people."</I></b></div><br /><div align="justify">Showing more class and deference than candidate Trump ever showed him, the former Governor lauded some of the President's personnel choices so far: <b><I>"I love the [Neil] Gorsuch pick. I love Betsy DeVos. I think the generals he's picked, which it's pretty extraordinary to have that many generals, but they're all people of great integrity. General [John] Kelly, who lived here, is a patriot. General [James] Mattis, Rex Tillerson — these are all top-notch people, and he's been decisive on the regulatory side, where he has unique control."</I></b></div><br /><div align="justify">Trump and a great many commentators such as Curl here bashed Jeb relentlessly throughout the primaries. But as I said before, those of us who lived in Florida while Jeb was Governor for eight years, knew him to be an excellent administrator and highly competent chief executive for our state.</div><br /><div align="justify">Imagine the difference in competence and tone if we had Jeb or Marco Rubio in the White House now. I was <b>#NeverTrump</b> for a reason. It wasn't a stance I took lightly.

Don't know if they'll take the opportunity to have some fun with role reversals here, but it would be a great missed opportunity for some insightful humor.</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mrod_assign_04.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mrod_assign_04.jpg" alt="michelle rodriguez nude topless the assignment" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify">If you're casting a movie and are looking for a recognizable female lead who could pass, attitude-wise, for a man, you can't go wrong with MRod. She's been playing the hard-ass girl in movies forever it seems. From her early appearance in <b><I>Girlfight</I></b> to <b><I>SWAT</I></b> to her appearances in the various <b><I>Resident Evil</I></b> installments, the 38 year old Rodriguez has the physical presence to play a convincing fighter/soldier type and enough swagger to pass as a biological man underneath Michelle's own very attractive feminine outward appearance.</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mrod_assign_05.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mrod_assign_05.jpg" alt="michelle rodriguez nude topless the assignment" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify">And assuming there's any sort of girl-on-girl action in the movie, we've already been treated to Michelle's sapphic leanings as she was one of rent-a-lesbian <b><i>Cara Delevingne</i></b>'s earliest conquests in the movie industry. I'm not thinking we'll be seeing this movie at the Academy Awards next season, most likely a straight-to-video affair, but I've always appreciated MRod's bad ass character portrayals, so I hope the film does well for her.</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mrod_assign_06.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mrod_assign_06.jpg" alt="michelle rodriguez nude topless the assignment" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mrod_assign_07.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mrod_assign_07.jpg" alt="michelle rodriguez nude topless the assignment" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mrod_assign_08.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mrod_assign_08.jpg" alt="michelle rodriguez nude topless the assignment" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#00008b;"><b>Update:</b><br /><br />Home sick for the weekend and doing the corresponding non-standard sleep/wake thing, I rented this movie during the wee hours when I couldn't sleep. What did I think of it?<br /><br />Glad you asked.<br /><br />MRod plays a hit man named Frank Kitchen (a fake name as she tells us in the voice over). Made up as a man with a scraggly beard and making her voice more husky than normal, Rodriguez makes the portrayal as close as any woman could manage without massive CGI. There is a full-frontal nude scene early on where they show Frank in all his manliness . . . it's pretty convincing . . . and unsettling.<br /><br />Anyway, Kitchen is double-crossed and ends up on the operating table of a slightly insane rogue doctor played with perfect God Complex insanity by Sigourney Weaver. Weaver's doctor decides to both punish Kitchen for one of his assassinations and experiment with one of her pet theories. She surgically transforms Kitchen into a woman, delivering the massive psychic shock possible by stripping away his <b><I>"macho man"</I></b> persona and lifestyle while simultaneously giving him the opportunity to redeem himself as a woman. The doctor believes that <b><I>"gender = identity"</I></b> so without the awful manliness that supports his killer asthetic, he will be able to simply walk away from that lifestyle and live a calm, happy life as a woman.<br /><br />More than a little far fetched, but the doctor is crazy after all. On a more practical note, in terms of being far fetched, is the film's notion that one can recover from such massive and total gender reassignment surgery in a matter of days without scarring and bruising and debilitating pain and so on. But once we get the basic set-up, the movie then follows a fairly predictable revenge drama format with only one or two mild surprises thrown in.<br /><br />There's some cleverness to how the movie is laid out with flashback timelines and storytelling, voice over by Rodriguez, and some <b><I>Sin City</I></b> style graphic scene cut ins and outs. It's a mash-up of styles, and I don't mean that as a negative. The movie <I>looks</I> good -- nice cinematography, sets and action pieces. Good casting -- along with Rodriguez and Weaver, there's Anthony Lapaglia and Tony Shaloub. They put some effort into this movie, and it shows.<br /><br />Rodriguez does a good job with the role. Obviously, she can handle the action scenes, but she also conveys the emotion of her situation believably. And writer/director Walter Hill puts in some small bits of nuance -- Kitchen lamenting that the female hormones are softening/weakening his body so that he can't fight like he once could. And spending the night with a nurse he met earlier in the film as a man, he doesn't know if he can <I>please</I> her adequately now. Kitchen finally sort of comes to terms with his situation, at one point using his appearance to his advantage to escape a dire predicament.<br /><br />Not a bad movie, I doubt you'll hear much about it unless the transgender community gets up in arms over it for some reason. I wouldn't have spent money on it if I wasn't home sick, and I can't recommend you do either. It'll make it's way onto basic cable at some point.

And with both Nicole and Shalene having done a bit of partial nudity in film before, I figured it would be one or the other of them to start things off.</div><br /><div align="justify">I'm not surprised that it's Nicole showing off her amazingly tight 49 year old body, because . . . well . . . she's amazing looking. Amiright?</div><br /><div align="justify">Anyway, I tried to watch the show, but after the first episode, I gave up on it. The premise is that there's been a murder, and we're looking backward at the events leading up to it to figure out whodunit.</div><br /><div align="justify">Problem for me came in the initial set up -- new to the upscale beachfront town is Woodley and her introspective 7 year old son. After the first day of orientation, we find out that the spoiled princess daughter of local town bitch, the horribly aged Laura Dern, has marks on her throat and claims someone in class choked her.</div><br /><div align="justify">The teacher goes full social justice warrior and has the kids in a circle with their mommies behind them and asks little princess who hurt her. Naturally, she points out the awkward new boy. Everyone turns at him in accusatory horror. His mother asks him if he did it, saying it's okay to tell her the truth.</div><br /><div align="justify"><b><I>?!?!?!</I></b></div><br /><div align="justify">And this is where I started shouting at the television. As a single parent myself, my first question to my son would have been "Did you see who hurt that little girl?" I would never have jumped to the conclusion that he was guilty of anything simply because some other 6 or 7 year old claimed he did. What utter horsesh*t!</div><br /><div align="justify">I saw the rest of the show through a angry haze and wasn't very impressed. Needless to say, I won't be watching any further episodes. Thankfully, we've got the internet to capture any interesting images like these. And I won't feel the least bit guilty using these pictures without watching the show, because knowing HBO's shameful blatant politics, they deserve to have anything they thought might draw viewers to their latest propaganda broadcast undercut.</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/kidman_ppl_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/kidman_ppl_02.jpg" alt="nicole kidman topless pretty little liars" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/kidman_ppl_03.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/kidman_ppl_03.jpg" alt="nicole kidman topless pretty little liars" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify">And an animated gif of the above images ('cause I'm nice like that):</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/nicole_kidman.gif" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/nicole_kidman.gif" alt="nicole kidman topless pretty little liars" /></a></div>postaldoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07939218266307886079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911959188181347070.post-12469962504250613502017-03-05T08:50:00.000-05:002017-03-05T08:50:53.606-05:00Mischa Barton in a bikini<div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mischa_138_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mischa_138_01.jpg" alt="mischa barton bikini 138 water" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify">Pics surfaced online this week of my favorite hot mess <b><I>Mischa Barton</I></b> in a bikini for a <b><I>138Water</I></b> photoshoot.</div><br /><div align="justify">I'm assuming these pics are at least 10 years old, because the now 31 year old model/actress/fashion entrepreneur hasn't looked this good in ages.</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mischa_138_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mischa_138_02.jpg" alt="mischa barton bikini ass 138 water" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify">You may recall that it was only in January of this year that Mischa was videoed hanging over the fence in her back yard, railing about the end of the world and how her mother was a witch and so on. Voluntarily taken to the hospital, she was diagnosed as having consumed the date rape drug GHB, which Mischa claimed her "friends" must have given her at her 31st birthday party.</div><br /><div align="justify">That's a heck of a circle of friends she's got there. Assuming that's what actually occurred. Mischa has had a long history of problematic behavior, and has a contentious relationship with her mother that I've written about before. I wonder if we'll ever get to see what she's capable of as an artist? Robert Downey Jr. was able to fight off his demons and re-invent himself as a franchise capable and respected actor. Can Mischa do the same or does she even have that talent within her? We may never know.</div><br /><div align="justify">Though these pics have a clear 'shopped look to them, it's still a decent set of images. I'm not at all surprised that 138Water put these out after the furor of Mischa's last public mess died down. No such thing as bad publicity, I guess.</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mischa_138_03.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mischa_138_03.jpg" alt="mischa barton bikini 138 water" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mischa_138_04.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mischa_138_04.jpg" alt="mischa barton bikini 138 water" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mischa_138_05.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mischa_138_05.jpg" alt="mischa barton bikini ass 138 water" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mischa_138_06.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://www.p-dogimages.com/mischa_138_06.jpg" alt="mischa barton bikini 138 water" /></a></div>postaldoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07939218266307886079noreply@blogger.com0
